The short answer

The closest alternative to the Lilienthal Berlin Neolux Skeleton – Dark Grey is the Bulova Black Skeleton Dial Black IP Bracelet Automatic 98A147 ($499) — open-heart / skeleton and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Swatch Sistem Slate at $250 (vs $679 for the Neolux Skeleton – Dark Grey) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Lilienthal Berlin Neolux Skeleton – Silver Grey is the standout microbrand take — open-heart / skeleton and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Movado Alta SE ($3,495) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
